Africa’s population is expected to grow significantly by 2050, and with that, there is increased enthusiasm among its youthful population to learn new skills in technology, innovation, science and entrepreneurship.

In a world that is constantly changing, countries across the globe have adopted new technology to improve the way people live.

The annual conference, now in its third year since its inception, is focused on introducing young people to specialty skills such as cybersecurity, computer programming, networking, software development, IT in health care, digital marketing and many other topics.

This has led to an increase in cross-cultural and intercontinental interactions.
